It is wise to be there before business hours as many Kaaba will be waiting for the embassy to open to renew their passports.

If you are returning from the old airport, the taxi fare will be around 30 QAR to 35 QAR by taxi.

The Philippine Embassy in Qatar has suggested that the release of the passport could take one to two months. In my case, I received an SMS from the embassy stating that my passport was ready in 3 months. Therefore, it is advisable to renew your passport 6 months before it expires so that you do not have to worry about any travel plans.
